This year's Annual Polis Conference on "Transport innovation for sustainable cities and regions" will take place on 6 and 7 December 2017 in Brussels. The Conference provides a unique opportunity for your organisation to connect with up to 500 committed transport innovation professionals who work in local and regional governments and related public and private sector organisations.

This international symposium will provide an invaluable opportunity to engage with recent policy developments at EU level and scrutinise the future of smart cities globally. It will also enable delegates to analyse recent technological developments and suitable funding opportunities which can underpin the success of future transitions. The event will bring together representatives from the EU and national institutions, the private sector and the civil society  to share best practice and provide a broad range of perspectives.

The main theme of the conference will be "Smart Mobility – Synergy Between Sustainable Mobility and New Technologies".  The goal is to incite new forms of dealing with contemporary problems and initiate common actions which will lead to a new dimension of planning and faster affirmation of smart mobility in Southeast Europe cities and towns.

During the Civitas Forum at Torres Vedras (Portugal) the three ongoing SUMP consortia will join forces and organise an afternoon ( 15-16.30 pm) Word Café session.  The proposed World Café session will look at:

1. Developing strategies for integrated mobility planning covering the functional urban area by developing new governance models for mobility planning at the local, regional and national level 
2. Making the current SUMP process meaningful to small and medium-sized cities from an economic perspective.

The more than 400 participants at the latest SUMP Conference were able to evaluate their experience by an online questionnaire.   Generally spoken we had a very fruitful and higly appreciated conference.
